Canadian Icelandic Sheepdog Club Booster for 2008

Canadian Icelandic Sheepdog Club 2008 Booster and Events

We are looking forward to the show year of 2008, Last year we had a Fun Match and Gathering in Eastern Canada and the CISC first National Booster in Western Canada. It is normal for a National Breed Club to host a min of one Booster per year for the breed, as we continue to grow, we can look forward to more Boosters per year. The norm for National Breed clubs is to move the Club events both around and back and forth across the country. Last year was in Alberta, and this year it will be in Ontario, we are hoping to look at B.C or Sask for 2009.

Our eastern Gathering will take place in Kingston, Ontario, this is very close to the US Border for anyone wanting to come up from the US to the events. It will be the Third weekend of June, Fathers Day weekend. The Show is a Three day event, 20th, 21st, and 22nd.

You are welcome to come for the whole three day event or just for the big Saturday events.

The Show is being held at the the Rideau Acres Campground to learn more about the campground please visit their website. One of the perks of this show is that its held in a wonderful campground, and its very reasonable to stay for the whole weekend, and there is a ton of water and power hookups available.
